PAc.E-10-7 POWER FOR APPROVAL OF CHANGES TO ) ITS ELECTRIC SERVICE SCHEDULES ) ) ) ) ) ) DIRECT TESTIMONY OF DONN ENGLISH IDAHO PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION OCTOBER 14,2010 ALLEGEDLY PROPRIETARY DATA HAS BEEN DELETED FROM THIS DOCUMENT 1 Q.Please state your name and business address for 2 the record. 3 A.My name is Donn English. My business address is 4 472 W. Washington, Boise, Idaho 83702. 5 Q.By whom are you employed and in what capacity? 6 A.I am employed by the Idaho Public Utilities 7 Commission as a senior auditor in the Utilities Division. 8 Q.What is your educational and experience 9 background? 10 A.I graduated from Boise State University in 1998 11 with a BBA degree in Accounting. Following my graduation, 12 I accepted a position as a Trust Accountant with a pension 13 administration, actuarial and consulting firm in Boise. As 14 a Trust Accountant, my primary duties were to audit the 15 day-to-day financial transåctions of numerous qualified 16 retirement plans. In 1999, I was promoted to Pension 17 Administrator. As a Pension Administrator, my 18 responsibilities included calculating pension and profit 19 sharing contributions, performing required non- 20 discrimination testing and filing the annual returns (Form 21 5500 and attachments). In May of 2001, I became a 22 designated member of the American Society of Pension 23 Professionals and Actuaries (ASPPA). I was the first 24 person in Idaho to receive the Qualified 401 (k) 25 Administrator certification and I am one of approximately CASE NO. PAC-E-10-0710/14/10 ENGLISH, D. (Di) STAFF 1 1 ten people in Idaho who have earned the Qualified Pension 2 Administrator certification. In 2001, I was promoted to a 3 Pension Consultant, a position I held until 2003 when I 4 joined the Commission Staff. 5 With the American Society of Pension 6 Professionals and Actuaries, I served on the Education and 7 Examination Committee for two years. On this committee I 8 was responsible fOr writing and reviewing exam questions 9 and study materials for the PA-1 and PA-2 exams 10 (Introduction to Pension Administration Courses), DC-1, 11 DC-2 and DC-3 exams (Administrative Issues of Defined 12 Contribution Plans - Basic Concepts, Compliance Concepts 13 and Advanced Concepts) and the DB exam (Administrative 14 Issues of Defined Benefit Plans). I have also regularly 15 attended conferences and training seminars throughout the 16 country on numerous pension issues. 17 While with the Commission, I have audited a 18 number of utili ties including electric, water and gas 19 companies and provided comments and testimony in several 20 cases that dealt with general rates, accounting issues, 21 pension issues and other regulatory issues. In 2004 I 22 attended the 46th Annual Regulatory Studies Program at the 23 Institute of Public Utilities at Michigan State University 24 sponsored by the National Association of Regulatory Utility 25 Commissioners (NARUC). Since then I have regularly CASE NO. PAC-E-10-0710/14/10 ENGLISH, D. (Di) STAFF 2 1 attended NARUC conferences and meetings, primarily the 3 2 meetings of the Subcommittee of Accounting and Finance. Q.What is the purpose of your testimony in this 5 4 proceeding? A.The purpose of my testimony in this proceeding is 6 to present and support Staff adjustments to the Company's 7 revenue requirement, specifically adjustments to employee 8 wages and benefits, along with an adjustment to property 9 taxes and a minor adjustment to the Company's revenue to 10 impute fair market value for two subleases at the One Utah 12 11 Center in Salt Lake City. Q.Are you sponsoring any exhibits in this 14 13 proceeding? A.Yes, I am sponsoring Staff Exhibit Nos. 104-107. 15 Exhibit No. 104 is a summary of all of the adjustments I 16 propose to the Company's Revenue Requirement. The amounts 17 listed are on a total Company (system) basis and have been 18 provided to .staff witness Vaughn to include in the 19 Regulatory Adjustment Model (RA) and the Jurisdictional 20 Allocation Model (JAM). 21 Q.Please explain the imputed revenue adjustment on 23 22 Exhibit No. 104, line 1. A.The Company's corporate offices are located at 24 the One Utah Center in Salt Lake City. The Company 25 currently leases 120,610 square feet at an average price of CASE NO. PAC-E-10-0710/14/10 ENGLISH, D. (Di) STAFF 3 1 $21.31 per square foot, and subleases some of its space to 2 three major tenants at an average price of $18.48 per 3 square foot. In addition, the Company also sublets office 4 space to the Utah Sports Commission and the Economic 5 Development Commission of Utah for $12.00 per year. Staff 6 believes that it is not appropriate for customers, 7 especially Idaho customers, to subsidize through 8 electrici ty rates the leases for these two Utah Commissions 9 at the below market rate that PacifiCorp has decided to 10 grant to them. The total office space occupied by these 11 two Commissions is 7,689 square feet. I impute revenue of 12 $142,069 at a price of $18.48 per square foot, less the $24 13 annually received for these two sub- leases. 14 Q.Please explain your next adjustment. 15 A.The next adjustment I propose on Exhibit No. 104, 16 line 2, is to remove $1,603,785 (system) from FERC Account 17 925 for Injuries and Damages. 18 Q.What is the basis for this adjustment? 19 A.In its Application, the Company proposed using a 20 three-year average, net of receivables from insurance, of 21 amounts booked into Account 925, Injuries and Damages, for 22 a total of $3,481,634 on a system-wide basis, compared to 23 only $1,877,849 during the 2009 test year. 24 Q.Has the Company used the three-year average for 25 Injuries and Damages in the past? CASE NO. PAC-E-10-0710/14/10 ENGLISH, D. (Di) STAFF 4 1 A.Yes, however, none of those general rate cases 2 went to a full hearing where the Commission has made a 3 ruling on the issue. Staff will occasionally support the 4 use of averages for accounts that show volatility from year 5 to year that are beyond the Company's control. However, 6 when it comes to Inj uries and Damages, each individual 7 entry into that account is, by its very nature, an 8 extraordinary and hopefully non-recurring expense. The 9 account is a catch-all account for minor accidents, 10 automobile accidents, and sometimes for damages where 11 employee negiligence is involved. For those reasons alone, 12 it would be feasible to argue that the entire amount should 13 be removed from revenue requirement. 14 Q.Are you recommending removal of the entire 15 amount? 16 A.No. I propose using the actual amounts booked in 17 2009 for Inj uries and Damages, net of receivables, for two 18 reasons. First, the 2009 level was the lowest level booked 19 into that account over the past three years, so it is an 20 amount that is reasonably attainable. By including the 21 lowest level incurred during the last three years, it 22 provides incentive for the Company to continue to manage 23 the amounts it spends on Injuries and Damages. Secondly, 24 the amounts booked to Account 925 have been trending 25 downward, from $5.4 million in 2007, to $3.2 million in CASE NO. PAC-E-10-0710/14/10 ENGLISH, D. (Di) STAFF 5 1 2008, to $1.9 million in 2009. This downward trend can be 2 attributed to safety measures undertaken by the Company 3 during 2008 and 2009. 4 Q.Briefly describe some of the specific safety 5 measures that were undertaken by the Company during 2008 6 and 2009. 7 A.The safety measures, among other things, ensured 8 that Company policy was developed, effectively communicated 9 to employees, and was being followed at all levels of the 10 organization and that there was sufficient control, 11 monitoring, and correct procedures in place to meet the 12 stated safey performance, which was to be in the top 10% of 13 the Company's peer group. The plan also established a road 14 risk management program to reduce preventable vehicle 15 accidents by 10% below the 2007 and 2008 targets. The plan 16 also included crew audits in the field, managers walking 17 the dock, management's morning stretch and flex and a daily 18 safety briefing at the start of each shift. Quarterly 19 facility audits and monthly crew audits were performed. 20 All deficiencies observed were corrected and responsible 21 employees received coaching, counseling and training. 22 Q.Does the decline in the amounts spent on Injuries 23 and Damages reflect that the plan is working? 24 A.Yes, I believe it does. Therefore, it would not 25 be reasonably prudent to allow the Company to recover in CASE NO. PAC-E-10-0710/14/10 ENGLISH, D. (Di) STAFF 6 1 rates any amount that does not take into consideration the 2 Company's recent safety efforts. 3 Q.Please explain the adj ustment to property taxes 4 shown on Exhibit No. 104, line 3. 5 A.The Company has requested to recover in rates an 6 amount it believes will accrue for property taxes for 2010. 7 However, the Company routinely appeals the assessed value 8 of the property that is taxed by the different states in 9 which the Company owns and maintains property. Since 2005, 10 the Company has received refunds from successful appeals 11 totaling over $1.7 million. Because the total accrual for 12 property tax is included in base rates, shareholders 13 receive the benefit of all property tax refunds. Customers 14 who are actually paying the accrued property taxes in their 15 retail rates should receive the benefit of any refunds from 16 the successful property tax appeals. The adj ustment of 17 $288,125 is the average amount refunded to the Company for 18 the tax years 2005 through 2010. This amount is 19 representanti ve of what I believe the Company may receive 20 in refunds for successful appeals of the 2010 tax 21 liability. 22 Q.Please explain the Company's treatment of pension 23 expense in this case. 24 A.The Company requested to recover its 2010 actual 25 cash contributions to the pension plan, instead of the CASE NO. PAC-E-10-0710/14/10 ENGLISH, D. (Di) STAFF 7 1 accrued expense calculated under the Statement of Financial 2 Accounting Standards No. 87 (SFAS 87), commonly referred to 3 as the pension expense. This is consistent with prior 4 PacifiCorp rate cases and the Letter of Understanding from 5 the Commission Staff. 6 Q.Can you briefly refresh the Commission on the 7 difference between the two amounts? 8 A.Without getting into the details of how the two 9 different amounts are calculated, which has been rehashed 10 in previous cases, the cash contribution is the actual cash 11 outlay invested into the plan's trust account, while the 12 SFAS 87 pension expense is reflected on the financial 13 statements of the Company as a reduction (or increase) in 14 the Company's earnings. Both amounts are calculated using 15 similar principles, although the rules for calculation are 16 very different. Staff and the Commission have generally 17 supported the use of the actual cash contribution as the 1S starting point for determining an amount to be included in 19 a utility's annual revenue requirement. 20 In this case, the Company reflects a pension 21 expense of $31,800,000 to be recorded on its books for 22 2010, with a cash contribution of $104, SOO, 000 for 2010 on 23 a total system basis. After adjusting the amounts to 24 remove the portion for the mines and to account for just 25 the O&M portion, the Company proposes an adjustment of CASE NO. PAC-E-10-0710/14/10 ENGLISH, D. (Di) STAFF S 1 $47.7 million, as shown on Exhibit No. 105, Column (c), 2 line 11. 3 Q.What is the basis for your adjustment to pension 4 expense? 5 A.At the time of this writing, the 2010 actuarial 6 valuation has not been completed. The Company has not 7 provided any detailed calculations from its actuaries 8 illustrating how the $104.8 million contribution was 9 calculated. Though there is no reason to believe that the 10 2010 contributions are miscalculated, Staff was not able to 11 verify the amounts. Furthermore, the estimated future 12 contributions calculated by the Company's actuaries and 13 provided to Staff confidentially indicate a significant 14 decrease in pension funding in future years. The required 15 contribution for 2010 is approximately twice as much as the 16 contribution for 2009 and estimated contribution for 2011. 17 To include the 2010 contribution amount in rates that go 18 into effect in 2011 and could potentially remain in effect 19 for several years would allow the Company to collect 20 significantly more in revenue than necessary to meet its 21 pension obligations. I have used an average of the 22 proj ected contributions to the pension plan for the period 23 of 2010-2014 as the amount to include in Staff's revenue 24 requirement for pension expense, as shown on Exhibit 25 No. 105 Column (d), line 1. The proj ected future CASE NO. PAC-E-10-0710/14/10 ENGLISH, D. (Di) STAFF 9 1 contributions to the PacifiCorp Retirement Plan are shown 2 on Confidential Exhibit No. 106. The Staff adjustment that 3 I recommend for pension expense is $20,875,647 as shown on 4 Exhibit No. 105, Column (e), line 12 and Exhibit No. 104, 5 line 4. 6 Q.Please explain the next adj ustmenton Exhibit 7 No. 104, line 5 labeled as SERP. 8 A.SERP is an acronym for Supplemental Executive 9 Retirement Plan. A SERP is a non-qualified plan for 10 executives of a Company to provide additional benefits 11 above and beyond those covered in more conventional 12 retirement plans to ensure the executive can maintain the 13 same standard of living in retirement. The only active 14 participant in this retirement plan is the President of 15 Rocky Mountain Power, and the Company included $2.6 million 16 on a total system basis to cover this cost. Idaho 17 customers should not be required to pay for additional 18 retirement benefits for executives of a utility above and 19 beyond the retirement benefits that are available to rank 20 and file employees. Because an executive's salary is 21 already higher than the typical employee, and the typical 22 retirement benefits provided are based on the level of 23 wages earned, the executive is already receiving a larger 24 benefit than the other employees. Any additional benefit 25 provided should be paid for solely by shareholders, CASE NO. PAC-E-10-07 10/14/10 ENGLISH, D. (Di) 10 STAFF 1 especially since an executive's performance is typically 2 based on creating value for the shareholder. 3 Q. Please explain the next adjustment of $33,103,859 4 on Exhibit No. 104, line 6, labeled Incentive Payments. 5 A. Yes, this adjustment represents Staff's 6 adjustment to the Company's proposed level of employee 7 bonuses, ultimately removing 100% of employee bonuses from 8 revenue requirement. 9 Q.Please briefly describe the Company's Incentive 10 Plan. 11 A.The Company establishes an annual amount to be 12 awarded to employees each year. The amount an employee 13 receives is based on an individualized set of goals for 14 that particular employee. If an employee achieves those 15 goals, a bonus is awarded. 16 Q.Why are you proposing to remove employee bonuses 17 from the Company's revenue requirement? 18 A.I am recommending the removal of bonus payments 19 for two reasons. First, because the criteria to receive a 20 bonus is on an individualized basis, it is impossible for 21 Staff to determine if such criteria benefits shareholders 22 or customers. The Commission has previously ruled that 23 incenti ve pay can only be included in annual revenue 24 requirement if it is related to indentifiable customer 25 benefits. If the criteria for an employee to receive a CASE NO. PAC-E-10-0710/14/10 ENGLISH, D. (Di) 11 STAFF 1 bonus has a shareholder benefit, then the shareholders 2 should bear the cost. Any amount of bonus that ties to 3 operating budgets would have a direct impact on the 4 earnings per share of the Company and therefore would 5 benefit shareholders. However, because of the complexity 6 of the Company's Incentive Plan, there is no way to 7 determine whether the Commission's criteria to include 8 bonuses in revenue requirement has been met. Secondly, I 9 believe that the Commission is cognizant of the public 10 perception of Rocky Mountain Power awarding employee 11 bonuses at a time when it is asking to increase the rates 12 it charges for electricity, and especially when many of its 13 customers are struggling financially. During a time of 14 economic despair throughout Rocky Mountain Power's 15 territory, which is described in Staff witness Thaden's 16 direct testimony and Exhibit Nos. 115 and 116, it is not 17 appropriate to seek recovery of bonus payments from 18 customers. If Rocky Mountain Power believe's that today's 19 financial environment mandates the need for rate increases, 20 those rate increases should be mitigated by a concerted 21 attempt to lower costs and salaries. 22 Q.What is the total percentage of the incentive 23 plan included in an employee's total compensation? 24 A.The Company has proposed to recover $33,103,859 25 for the annual incentive plan and bonuses, which is the CASE NO. PAC-E-10-0710/14/10 ENGLISH, D. (Di) 12 STAFF 1 2010 budgeted level. Union employees do not participate in 2 the Company's incentive plan. The total 2010 non-union 3 proforma wages and salaries is $201,802,000. This equates 4 to incentives being 16.4% of total wages for 2010. 5 Q.Would you please explain the adjustment to 7 6 Employee Wages listed on Exhibit No. 104. A.The net effect of this adjustment removes all 8 wage increases awarded by Rocky Mountain Power to its 9 employees during 2009 and 2010, and sets the level of 10 straight-time labor at the January 1, 2009 level. 11 Q.Please briefly descrive the Company's proposal 13 12 for employee wages in this case. A.Actual December 31, 2009 labor related expenses 14 were annualized to reflect any increases that occurred in 15 2009 as being included for a full twelve months. The 16 annualized 2009 labor expenses were then escalated at 17 ei ther the contractual increase for union employees or the 18 actual increase for non-union employees to reflect a 2010 19 pro forma budgeted amount. 20 21 and 2010? Q.What types of wage increases were awarded in 2009 22 A. In 2009, non-union employees received a 3.5% wage 23 increase, while the union employees received between 1.25% 24 and 3 percent. In 2010, the non-union employees received 25 an increase of 0.88% while the union employees received CASE NO. PAC-E-10-0710/14/10 ENGLISH, D. (Di) 13 STAFF 1 between 1.5 and 2. 5 percent. 2 Q.Why do you believe these increases are 3 inappropriate? 4 A.Al though the increases may seem minimal, they 5 occurred at a time of economic distress for Rocky 6 Mountain's customers. Unemployment rates doubled and 7 tripled in many parts of the country, included Rocky 8 Mountain Power's service territory, while wages and the 9 consumer price index remained relatively flat. Americans 10 on Social Security will not receive cost of living 11 adjustments for 2010 and 2011, and most employees with the 12 State of Idaho were forced to take pay cuts. While much of 13 the population struggles, it is not prudent for utility 14 companies to continually grant increases to its employees. 15 Staff believes that during the past two years, Rocky 16 Mountain Power had the opportunity to better control costs 17 and mitigate rate increases. I recommend adjusting 18 employee wages by $14,375,075 (Exhibit No. 104, line 7). 19 Q.Please describe the last adjustment on Exhibit 20 No. 104, line 8. 21 A.The final adjustment I propose is to reduce the 22 MidAmerican Energy Holding Company (MEHC) Management Fees 23 allocated to PacifiCorp. Merger Commitment #28 commits 24 PacifiCorp to limiting the amount of allocations from MEHC 25 to PacifiCorp at $7.3 million, which the Company did in its CASE NO. PAC-E-10-0710/14/10 ENGLISH, D. (Di) 14 STAFF 1 Application. However, included in the $7.3 million 2 allocation from MEHC is $2.15 million in Supplemental 3 Executive Retirement Plan contributions and bonuses to 4 employees of MidAmerican. I remove this amount as a 5 logical continuation of adjustments. Because I recommend 6 removing bonuses and SERP contributions for Rocky Mountain 7 Power employees from customers' retail rates, then the SERP 8 contributions and bonuses for employees of MidAmerican 9 should also be removed. Exhibit No. 107 illustrates how 10 the $7.3 million cap is affected by this adjustment and 11 shows my adjustment of $1,100,635. 12 Q.Does this conclude your direct testimony in this 14 13 proceeding? 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 A.Yes, it does.
